Saturday - June 13: A group of 11 or so riders enjoyed another picture perfect New England day for riding. Called "Tim's" ride because Tim scheduled this ride annually for about 12 years, calling it the "Get Acquainted ride". "Tim's ride" is just easier and we like easy.
Starting in Franklin at the High School, the ride travels 55 miles through.... Franklin, Medway, Holliston, Sherborn, Dover, Westwood, Walpole, Medfield, Norfolk and back to Franklin. (See map at bottom.)
The group was Tim, Fred, Maryellen, Marc, Donna K. , Kevin R., Andrea, Joel, Jamie, Tina & Shelley.
The group hit the road at 8am. We soon picked up Len, a rider from Franklin, out for a 25 mile ride. We didn't know Len, but invited him to join us... on our 55 mile ride. 30 miles into the ride in Dover, Len realize he was committed. The group made a stop at Maryellen brother in Westboro. We thought about quitting there on the patio next to the pool. Joel even took a plunge. But, after a longer than normal stop, we moved on.
This was a group ride. I.e. nobody gets dropped. We wait and regroup occasionally at turning points. We stick together as a team. Typical PHAT Tuesday. We support each other. It's how the PHATs do it. We finished as a group around 12:15pm

PS: As it turned out Franklin was holdings annual Relay For Life this day. Congratulations to all who participated in this great event!
